Dance Day preparations

On 29 April, as every year since 1982, Dance Day will be celebrated all over the world by the international community of dancers and dance enthusiasts.
Dance Day is an initiative of the International Dance Council CID, UNESCO.

The main purpose of Dance Day events is to attract the attention of the wider public to the art of dance. Emphasis should be given to addressing a ‘new’ public, people who do not follow dance events during the course of the year.

Dance Day events may be special performances, open-door classes, public rehearsals, lectures, exhibitions, articles in newspapers and magazines, dance evenings, radio and TV programs, visits, street shows, parades, shop window decorations etc. Events are primarily organised by dance companies, amateur groups, schools, associations and other institutions active in dance. Wherever possible, it is better for events to be organised jointly with a non-dance institution such as a government agency, a public school, a municipality, a business enterprise, a trade union.
